Guest Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 This impostor is clearly playing the stats. The passing percentage and ground covered stats. Only to justify him keeping his place. He is a coward whose only contribution to his hometown club has been a couple of goals last season and an important block this season, yet we're told that he's a good player by all and sundry. I'd be interested to see how far in his running stats involves jogging 30 yards across the field to play a pointless 10 yard pass, or how far includes jogging back from outside their area 50 yards as the opposition counter at speed 80 yards towards our goal.

Wallsendmag Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Tried to defend him at times last season based purely in the fact that he looked like one of the only ones trying as most of the others had downed tools and he chipped in with a few goals and assists but he's clearly got a chronic lack of ability which is a pretty big problem in this league. There's a reason why he's never finished outside the bottom 6 of the league I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 And yet he appears to have been first name on the team sheet since he arrived. Wasn't even an ever-present for the mackems. It's completely baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Seems like him and Sissoko are undroppable and rarely subbed. Both of those would have been the first two to come off last night. I see he got his customary yellow card. Can't be arsed to track back, not strong enough to try and compete for a ball. So just goes for the shirt pull or hack, whilst the other player is running away from him. Gutless, useless shithouse of a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've only seen him "live" a couple of times but was astounded with him at West Ham last year. Just seems seconds behind in every situation, chasing the ball but not getting anywhere near it. When he gets the ball he's tidy enough with it, but he's thoroughly pointless unless he scores or assists. He's simply not a very good player at all.

buzza Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As bad as anita last night, only saving grace was that he wasn't directly at fault for any of the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicente_14 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He's bang average, bang average at everything and not great at anything, he should be a squad player that comes in when others are injured/suspended. And the thing that drives me mental is his Scott Parker pirouette that slows everything down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As bad as anita last night, only saving grace was that he wasn't directly at fault for any of the goals. Should've been flattening Payet for the first, he came out to block, stopped and then started again meaning Payet was under no pressure. Should've been hurtling towards him full tilt. Invariably he's too off the pace/uninvolved to be at fault for goals though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I hate him! I'll dislike McClaren very badly soon as well if he doesn't drop him!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Can we please stop calling him average? Average makes me think like he'd get in a mid-table team and he simply wouldn't. The bloke is what we all knew he was when he played for them: shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As bad as anita last night, only saving grace was that he wasn't directly at fault for any of the goals.

Invariably he's too off the pace/uninvolved to be at fault for goals though. Shouldn't have been jogging back for their second either or maybe he could've been close to Payet for the rebound. There's a very good replay that shows him half arsing it all the way back up until Moses shoots when he stops and the starts running a bit as it hits the bar. Anita at least won some challenges and played some decent passes. The only good thing I remember Colback doing was a decent pass in the first half on the left hand side to Thauvin I think. Doesn't balance up all the absolute shite he served up, especially towards the end of the game when he played some disgracefully bad passes straight to West Ham players. He's such a fucking useless shite, people need to stop calling him "average", as he wishes he was fucking average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 And pepole say he's passionate ffs. Scared of the ball for the first goal. Someone like Taylor would chuck themselves at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've defended Colback on here but he was very poor last night. We have to drop two out of Colback, Anita, and Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Speaking of bookings, the yellow card he picked up yesterday was very fitting to his cowardly, moronic performance. Alan Smith levels of "getting stuck in". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't even think it was a deliberate foul, he's actually slow enough for that to have been a late tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
